1. • Cetaceans, pinnipeds, elephants and bats

     • The clearest evidence comes from cetaceans, pinnipeds, elephants and bats where species have been found to copy artificial or human language sounds, or match acoustic models of different sound types.

   Which animals have advanced vocal learning?

   • Advanced vocal learning has been found in only a handful of taxa, including five mammalian (humans, elephants, cetaceans, pinnipeds, and bats) and three avian (songbirds, parrots, and hummingbirds) clades ( 1 ).

   Are there any species that can learn a voice?

   • There is a general trend in the literature (e.g., [ 8 ]) that limits vocal learning only to species that can produce novel calls through imitation, subserved by a direct connection between the forebrain and phonatory muscles (e.g., the larynx in mammals or syrinx in birds). This has led to a canonical list of vocal learning species.

   Which species exhibit the most complex vocal learning behavior?

   • Interestingly, the vocal learning taxa that display the most-complex vocal learning behavior overlap with those long thought to exhibit more-intelligent cognitive capacities [e.g., humans, cetaceans, elephants, corvid songbirds, and parrots ( 3, 4 )], although this has not been quantitatively tested across species.

   Is vocal learning widespread in mammals and birds?

   • Several of the animals were able to give different vocalizations in response to different cues, and some developed novel vocalizations in this paradigm. This adds to the evidence that usage learning is widespread in mammals and birds. 4. Vocal learning early in life

   Are mammals able to learn vocals?

   • In 1997, Janik & Slater published a highly cited review of mammalian vocal learning. Now, almost 25 years on, Janik & Knörnschild revisit and update the evidence for vocal learning across mammals, dealing in particular with those non-human mammals where the evidence is clear: cetaceans, pinnipeds, elephants and bats.

   What are the different types of vocal learning species?

   • This has led to a canonical list of vocal learning species. It comprises three bird orders and some mammals. The birds—by far the longest list when counting individual species (in the thousands [ 9 ])—comprise songbirds (Passeriformes), parrots (Psittaciformes), and hummingbirds (Trochiliformes) [ 10, 11 ].

   Sep 6, 2021 · Studying vocal learning in a wide range of animals has the potential to shed light on why it arose so extraordinarily productively in our own recent evolution [5]. The research papers and reviews in this issue illustrate the many different approaches that can be taken to vocal learning across diverse species.

   Oct 4, 2019 · In contrast, advanced vocal learners have voluntary control of not only the oral-facial articulators (lips, tongue, beak, and jaw) but also the larynx (in mammals) or syrinx (in birds) (10, 11). The continuum hypothesis does not negate that advanced vocal learning is convergent.

   Mar 30, 2020 · The VLC proposes that species can be placed along a continuum, yielding a gradual as opposed to dichotomous classification [11, 29 – 31]. The categories in the VLC are as follows: vocal nonlearners, limited vocal learners, moderate vocal learners, complex vocal learners, and high vocal learners.
